Wed, 07 Sep 2011 13:15:07 +0000http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/?p=9726#comment-771758I wasn't even really meaning to imply that the Democrat view of state sovereignty is racist. The whole piece is really a sort of satire. The point being that it's clearly ridiculous to pillory the entire Democratic Party in 2011 because of actions more than 100 years ago – or even 50 years ago. It's equally ridiculous to oppose state sovereignty in 2011 because actions taken by some people so long ago – especially when they don't even have their history right!

That said, great synopsis of the proper division of powers!

Wed, 07 Sep 2011 02:40:03 +0000http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/?p=9726#comment-771174They actually do this on purpose and very ingeniously in an almost undetectable way. For example, it is not possible by looking at the text of any conservative idea and say it is racist which is why they never say that they are saying something racist. Doing so would make people look at the words and realize the accusation is wrong. However, if you actually say that the feelings or the thoughts that spawn these non-racist ideas are racist in origin you can say that the people are racist without actually having to examine anything that was said. If you say you are against gun control they can say that you have hidden fears of being robbed by a black person therefore people who are against gun control are racist even though the platform of gun freedom contains no racist idea in itself. It is insidious what they do and because it is so cleverly done it makes me wonder if the tactic wasn't developed and used on purpose.

Wed, 07 Sep 2011 02:04:42 +0000http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/?p=9726#comment-771136So what the author is saying is that the Democratic view of states rights is racist. That doesn't mean the conservative or libertarian views of states rights are also racist.

How about just accepting that it's folly to expect that the best decisions can only be made inside the DC beltway.

If states do something clearly unconstitutional such as slavery, there is a legitimate federal judiciary to handle that. But if states want to exercise their rights to conduct their business as they see fit, then they should be allowed to.

If Massachusetts wants to provide health care for it's citizens,then it has a right to do so. But this doesn't extend to a federal level. If other states do not want to offer health care, it's the right of the state to create it's own policies.

Let's leave to DC only those things that should be done on a federal level. The big three are defense, foreign policy and the federal judiciary. Everything else should go back to the states, as well as allowing each state to create it's own taxing policy. The states would simply send money to the federal government, based only on it's population of citizens to cover their per-capita share of those federal tasks.

Everything else, building roads, education, parks, environmental policy, heath care or no health care and so on would be paid for with money collected from the citizens of that state. No transferring wealth from one state to another so someone in DC can buy votes.

United States for defense and foreign policy. But free states to create local policies to address the needs, wants and desires of the citizens of that state through their own policy choices.

I wonder how the blacks who see a racist hiding behind every tree feel about being a member/drone of the party that birthed the KKK?

Tue, 06 Sep 2011 20:00:35 +0000http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/?p=9726#comment-770732You're right of course. But race makes good politics. And it's the easiest way to "win" an argument without actually debating the real issue. Most people are scared to death to address race. It's like a billy club. So, I just keep on trying to point out the hypocrisy of it all.
